Plastics & Polymers
Plastics and polymers are used in many and varied applications in a vast range of industries, from aerospace and automotive to construction, medical and packaging. Thanks to our materials expertise, analytical and testing capabilities and problem-solving consultancy service, we can work with you to optimise materials, products and processes, ensure compliance with regulations and diagnose and solve failures.
Testing & Analysis
From our independent testing and analytical laboratories we offer a full range of testing of plastics, polymers, raw materials, feedstocks, resins, composites and additives. From chemical and physical testing to microstructural and surface analysis, we can help you to meet and exceed quality and performance standards, comply with regulations and diagnose faults and failures. We offer a comprehensive QA/QC service for both plastic and polymer manufacturers and end-users alike.
Consultancy
With scientific backgrounds, decades of industry experience, regulatory & legislative know-how and manufacturing expertise, our technical consultants work throughout all stages of the material, product and process lifecycles to help you improve performance, comply with regulations, solve problems, gain a competitive advantage and increase profitability.
Failure Analysis
When failures occur, we work quickly and effectively to analyse and diagnose problems in order to minimise downtime, improve product and material process efficiency and optimise quality. Surface analysis can play a huge part in determining failures of plastics and polymers in use; contaminants and defects can be analysed, the source of the problem identified and solutions developed.
